mplayer midentify doesn't detect video parameters

[denys@…]

Not sure which part it belongs, core or demux.

I have a file, where midentify will fail to detect correct parameters.
I am not sure it will cause playback problems, but probably it will be nice to show proper result in midentify.
I am using mplayer as tool to retrieve video/audio parameters from video files on my embedded box. Tested on svn version of ffmpeg (to build shared libavcodec), and git version of mplayer and tested there.

Also i test on latest ebuilds of mplayer on gentoo with x264 library enabled, it gives same results.

mplayer with debug output from gentoo
mplayer -vo null -ao null -frames 0 -identify -v /work/00001small.m2ts >/home/nuclear/x264_fail.txt
